I'm using these needles for socks, and even the Size 0 hasn't broken. I'm surprised. I needed the small size, but I was afraid bamboo would break, but they haven't, and one sock is finished. I almost always use Clover Bamboo needles, straight or circular, because they are comfortable for knitting.

I have dpns and straight needles in several types of wood. The Clover bamboo needles are one of my favorites for knitting socks. The needles are smooth to the touch and the stitches slide easily. At the same time, the needles provide just the right amount of stickiness so that the stitches stay on the needles.
